Prince Kuhio Day in Oahu

March 19, 2018

Prince Kuhio Day in Oahu

If you enjoy living in beach apartments in Oahu, you may want to get to know more about the local customs and holidays in the area. Maybe you’re a Hawaiian native and know all about Prince Kuhio and understand the value of celebrating his special day. Or maybe you are very new to the area and would love to know more about this amazing man and why the Hawaiian people in Oahu feel the need to celebrate his life by giving him a special holiday.

More than anything else, Prince Kuhio Day is a time for celebration. It’s a time to get together with family members and friends and really begin to appreciate life and what it’s all about. It’s time to celebrate being alive and sharing wonderful experiences with people you care about the most, and it’s also about getting to know your neighbors better and other members of your local community.

So take some time today to learn more about Prince Kuhio and his astonishing life. Take time to understand why he is considered the People’s Prince. To help you learn more about this important man in Hawaii’s history, we’ll tell you more about his story before we get into more specific details about the amazing celebration, which lands on Monday, March 26 of this year.

A Brief History of Prince Kuhio

The Prince was born on March 26, 1871. He was considered the People’s Prince, and was named Johan Kuhio Kalanianaole and he was a Prince of the house that was reigning at the time known as the House of Kalakaua. Unfortunately, the kingdom of Hawaii was overthrown in 1893, while Prince Kuhio was considered one of Hawaii’s princes.

In his early life, the Prince was raised in Koloa , which is conveniently located on the island of Kauai. But he attended school in Oahu at the Royal School, which was originally called the Chief’s Children School. After reaching adulthood, Prince Kuhio also went to college. He spent four years studying in St. Matthew’s College in California, then also went to the Royal Agricultural College in England before finally going to business school, which he also attended in England.

When Hawaii was overthrown by American businessmen in 1893, the Prince joined his brother Kawananakoa in an attempt to successfully restore the monarchy, although they weren’t successful. In fact, many Hawaiians at the time were executed for treason against the Republic, but the Prince managed to escape death although he was sentenced to spend a year in prison for his crimes.

Although the rightful Hawaiian Prince vowed to never step foot on Hawaii again, he eventually did after spending a number of years traveling through South Africa. He even fought in the Boer War as a member of the British Army.

Once the Prince finally returned home, Hawaii was already considered a territory of the United States. In truth, it’s believed that Prince Kuhio would have eventually become a Hawaiian King immediately after Queen Liliuokalani died. Although he never officially became a King, he was eventually elected as a Congressional delegate for Hawaii and served 10 consecutive terms in this position.

The Hawaiian people adore Prince Kuhio so much because he did a great deal to strengthen them and preserve their way of life. He helped pass the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act that gave the Hawaiian people land to homestead. He was also highly praised because he helped establish the Hawaiian Civic Club.

As you can see, Prince Kuhio was obviously a great man. Although he lived a relatively short life by today’s standards, he died in 1922 just 51 years after his date of birth. They laid his body to rest with other members of the royal family in the Royal Mausoleum in Oahu.

What Type of Celebrations Can One Expect on Prince Kuhio Day?

As mentioned earlier, the Hawaiian holiday is considered an extra special day and it’s a time to celebrate. To celebrate the life of this amazing Prince, there was a statue erected in his honor and dedicated to him in 2002. This statue is larger-than-life and you’d have to visit Waikiki in order to see it with your very own eyes.

But that’s beside the point, because we would like to help you learn more about Prince Kuhio Day and all of the exciting celebrations that are going to take place for this special event.

On Sunday, March 25, the historic Kawaiahao Church in downtown Honolulu is going to have a special service in honor of the memory of the man who was almost King of Hawaii. This honored and long-standing tradition began many years ago and it is a tradition that will continue for many years to come.

On Friday, March 23, 2018, the city of Oahu is going to host the Prince Kuhio Festival. This should be an exciting day for everyone in Hawaii because you get to honor the legacy and life of an amazing man.

There will be a wide range of events taking place for about a week in honor of this Hawaiian Prince. On March 18, the Pauleilani at Royal Hawaiian Center begins at 2 PM. The Prince Kuhio Parade is taking place on Kalakaua Avenue on March 25 at 10 AM. And don’t forget to check out the Hawaiian Choral Concert being held at 6 PM at Ke Ahe Lau Makani. Finally, the official Prince Kuhio Day State Holiday is March 27, 2018.

Honolulu Festival

Once a year, for the past 24 years, Hawaii stands in awe at the wonder of the Honolulu Festival. This year, residents from the luxury apartments for rent at Ewa Beach will also be getting in on the fun, as they head over to the Hawaii Convention Center, Waikiki Beach Walk, and Ala Moana Center for this tribute to Asia-Pacific culture. Like past years, this showcase will likely be a momentous spectacle, and if you’re interested in learning more about what the festival will have to offer, then read on, as we explore what the Honolulu Festival is all about and what’s on the docket for this year’s celebration.

What Is The Honolulu Festival, Exactly?

The most straightforward description comes directly from the Honolulu Festival’s about page:

“The Honolulu Festival is Hawaii’s premier cultural event, promoting mutual understanding, economic cooperation and ethnic harmony between the people of Hawaii and the Pacific Rim region. Each year, the Festival attracts thousands of new and returning spectators who are looking for an experience unique to Hawaii.”

That unique experience, by the way, is Hawaii’s very distinct cultural influence. Performers and educators representing Japan, Australia, Tahiti, the Philippines, Taiwan, South Korea, and the mainland United States all take part in this event, as they all have contributed to what makes Hawaii special. Exploring that about page, you’ll also notice that there are several different facets to what encompass the overall festival:

The Grand Parade
Performance Stages
Educational Program
Craft Fair
Friendship Party
Governor’s Luncheon Reception
Ennichi
Let’s take a closer look at what you can expect from these various offerings, shall we?

The Grand Parade

The conclusion of the festival is perhaps it’s most stunning event. During the grand parade, the various festival groups and performers will dance, sing, and stage cultural demonstrations to thrill the attending crowds. There will be floats, marching bands, a fire-breathing dragon and more as they take to the streets and display their amazing talents.

The parade starts at Saratoga Road then continues along Kalakaua Avenue, and will also have some special guests, like Miss Hawaii, the Cherry Blossom and Narcissus Queens, hula dancers, and more. Fun fact: the Grand Parade is the recipient of a Legacy Award for its significance as a “mediator between the City of Honolulu and its sister-city, Nagaoka City.”

Performance Stages

There will be numerous performers throughout the festival, at the Hawaii Convention Center, Ala Moana Shopping Center, and at Waikiki Beach Walk. As we mentioned, they’re coming from across Asia and the United States, and include some 34 participating groups, which you can view here.

From Tokyo, for instance, the Japan High School Of Music will be in attendance, showing off members of their four specialized creative programs, including music, ballet, and theater arts. The event will also feature traditional Aboriginal dancers from Australia, the Wagana, among other cultural representatives, so be sure to check out that list to learn more about who you can go to see during the festivities.

Educational Program

The festival is as much about teaching as it is about entertaining, which is where the Educational Program comes into play. There will be educational school tours, where students “explore behind-the-scenes of the Honolulu Festival,” and even get to “take a closer look at all the festival exhibits,” gaining an opportunity to interact directly with the artists and performers of the festival.

There will also be a Maui Mikoshi contest, wherein “high school students from the island of Maui design Japanese Mikoshi, a decorative portable shrine.” The winners will get to march in the parade alongside their Mikoshi, and have it displayed at the Convention Center during the festival.

Craft Fair

The Craft Fair is bringing crafts from across Japan, Hawaii, and other Pacific countries. There will be more than 100 booths, and plenty of opportunities to interface with the various cultures in attendance. In addition, the crafty are encouraged to make and bring their own wares as they interact, helping enhance the cultural exchange and show off their unique talents.

Friendship Party

This is one of the highlights of the festival. During the Friendship Party, awards like the Best Contribution award are handed out to the individuals who have done the most in contributing an “international rapport.” Once the award portion of the gala is completed, performers hit the stage and start to entertain as guests enjoy sumptuous food, courtesy of Hawaii’s finest restaurants.

Tickets are required for this event, which you can purchase from the Honolulu Festival website. This will be yet another great opportunity to learn more about culture and make some friends who share the same desire to meld and mingle with others.

Governor’s Luncheon

The first day of the Honolulu Festival will be marked by the Governor’s Luncheon, which will happen at Washington Place:

“Each year, the governor of Hawaii invites over 100 attendees, many of whom are the representatives of the participants of the festival from Japan and affiliated local entities. The governor delivers a thank you speech to all the attendants, followed by a reception where they get to mingle with each other.”

For those in attendance, it will serve as a magnificent start to this cultural phenomenon and a testament to the spirit of the Honolulu Festival.

Ennichi

Ennichi is a kind of Japanese holiday when people celebrate either the birth or passing of a deity they worship. People visit shrines, pray to their gods, and enjoy their fair share of delicious food (like Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki). A recreated version of Ennichi has been part of the Honolulu Festival since 2008, and has blossomed into one of the most popular parts of the whole event.

This year’s Ennichi at the Honolulu Festival will feature more of that traditional Japanese appeal, with “authentic Japanese Ennichi activities such as fish-scooping, yukata dressing, origami and plastic mask making.” You’ll not want to miss this family-friendly happening for anything.

The Action Is Only A Short Ways From The Luxury Apartments For Rent At Ewa Beach

You’ll be able to get to the Honolulu Festival and have a great time in no time when you’re a resident of nearby communities like the Kapilina Beach Homes. The spacious layouts and top-tier features make it feel like a resort every day you’re here, so check it out and make it your choice for superior Hawaii living.

The Best Places to Celebrate Chinese New Year in Oahu

Chinese New Year is always a great event while living in apartments for rent in Honolulu or other areas of Oahu. It really is a special time of year for many Hawaiians with Chinese background, plus many other ethnic cities also enjoy the exciting festivities that take place in Chinatown and other parts of Honolulu during this special time of year.

For the most part, you can experience Chinese New Year celebrations starting in the middle of January, and many of these celebrations will continue on all the way until the middle of February. Even though it’s not necessarily a month-long party, it is an exciting time anyway because there are always interesting, fun, and wonderful experiences waiting for you just around the bend.

So, if you’re looking for amazing Chinese New Year celebrations in Honolulu and other parts of Oahu Hawaii, you’ve definitely come to the right place. We’ll tell you about the most exciting celebrations that typically take place during this special time of year, and you can plan accordingly if you want to experience these events in person or possibly just watch them on TV or YouTube.

Winning this pageant on Chinese New Year is no small feat to say the least, and it’s definitely a wonderful honor for the contestants in the competition just to be nominated.

Many of you may be wondering if they have a swimwear competition in this pageant. No, they do not have a swimwear portion of the competition, because the pageant is about much more than the way these women look. It’s about who they are as people, their hopes and dreams, and who they intend to be in the future. So if you’re looking for swimwear models, please do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

Again, the pageant is open to the public but it is not free. You will have to pay to get into the venue, so please make the effort to look it up online to find out more about the pertinent details revolving around this exciting event.

You can look at some of the remarkable arts and crafts and buy something if you like it or just appreciate the beautiful artwork.

Have a Blast at the Narcissus Festival and Lion Dances

This festival also kicks off with a traditional lion dance. So if you ever had any desire to see a lion dance in person, we highly recommend going to the Narcissus Festival this year. You are in for an amazing treat and a night that you will never forget. It’s a gorgeous dance as you are about to learn, and you’ll be glad that you’ve had the opportunity to see it for yourself at least once.

Valentines in Ewa Beach

January is almost over and, with that, in a few weeks is Valentine’s Day. This is the day of love, where we show to that special someone what they mean in your life. That being said, you want to make this day extra special but aren’t sure how to go about that. What should you do? Should you go have a picnic on the beach and watch the sun set? Or what about going to the movie theatre to watch a romantic movie? If you are scratching your head, wondering what to plan, read on and learn some suggestions (plus, find out why you need to consider apartments in Honolulu).

1. Go to that Romantic Restaurant

Yes, this may be cliché but it is cliché for a reason. Who doesn’t love eating out a nice restaurant to celebrate love? Why not get over the cliché and book that reservation. If you are in the Honolulu area, you may want to try restaurants like Orchids, Hau Tree Lanai, Beachhouse at the Moana, and House Without a Key. All of these have beautiful, romantic settings. And, while they are on the pricier side, will be sure to make your loved one smile.

Who Is This Best For?

If you and your partners are foodies or are always on the go, a romantic restaurant is perfect for your Valentine’s Day. Simply taking a moment to stop and breathe will make the day so much more enjoyable—and, you get to try a new meal.

2. Don’t Be Afraid to Grab Some Dessert After Dinner

After you enjoy wining and dining at that romantic restaurant, stop by the bakery or—better yet—the local shaved ice joint to satisfy that sweet tooth. While you can always have dessert at the restaurant, it is sometimes nice to get up and walk around while eating that treat.

Who Is This Best For?

This is for the couple who might like romantic restaurants but want also want to stretch and explore the area. A dessert on the go is the perfect excuse to tackle both.

3. Have a Picnic on The Beach

Hawaii is known to have some of the most beautiful beaches. Being that you are Honolulu, why not take advantage of your natural surroundings? Either take food to go (or make your own) and spread a blanket and some beach towels out on the sand for a good old fashion picnic on the beach. You can have one in the early morning when the sun is just rising or why not watch the setting sun in the evening. Some beaches you may want to check out include Ala Moana Regional Park, Kuhio Beach, and Kahanamoku Beach, to name a few.

Who Is This Best For?

If you and your partner enjoy the simple things in life, you are sure to love pulling out and laying a towel on the beach and watching the setting sun. As a bonus, why not bring some tea to sip on while you cuddle up and watch the waves rolling in.

4. Snorkel or Surf

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be a day where all you do is wine and dine. Why not celebrate it by snorkeling in Hanauma Bay or Queens Beach? (If you do decide to do this, we recommend that you get there early to avoid the crowds.) And, as far as surfing goes, any local beach will do.

Who Is This Best For?

Snorkeling and/or surfing is a great way for the adventure-seeking couples who, while enjoy wining and dining, would much rather be out in nature or in the ocean.

5. See a Romantic Movie at the Theatre

Watching a romantic movie at the theatre is a great way to spend Valentine’s Day with the one you love and cherish. Why not go to Consolidated Theatres Koko Marina, Consolidated Theatres Kahala, or Consolidated Theatres Ward with TITAN LUXE?

Enjoy snacking on some popcorn and sipping that soda while watching “Forever My Girl.” If you and your partner don’t particularly like romantic moveis, choose another movie genre— as far as horror goes, “Insidious: The Last Key” may be your best bet or “Coco” if you want a to watch an animated, feel-good movie.

Who Is This Best For?

Seeing a romantic movie in the theatres is great for those who don’t ever get a chance to see movies, let alone watch them with the one they love most. It is also great for new couples who may not feel comfortable making a big romantic gesture.

Final Thoughts: Make the Most of Valentine’s Day

Take advantage of Valentine’s Day to show that special one you love and care about them. For an extra dose of appreciation, be sure to not only enjoy some type of outing but also give him or her a hand written, personal card and a gift (large or small). Remember, it’s the simple things in life that matter most.

Also, know that you can choose to use one, some, or all of our suggestions or come up with your own. The choice is up to you; overall, you are the one who will know best. Have any other suggestions for Valentine’s Day? What has been your best Valentine’s Day? Share with us by leaving a comment in the comments section below.

Valentine’s Day is a big stepping stone; are you ready to take another? Consider apartments in Honolulu, specifically Kapilina Beach Homes with has floor plans ranging from two to four beds.

What Kind of Prizes Can I Win in the Kapilina Chili Cook-off?

As we just alluded to, residents of Kapilina are also capable of winning prizes when they enter the chili cook-off event. And this makes sense since you are required to pay to enter into the contest.

The interesting thing about the event is they have four different categories, so you have more than one chance of winning a monetary prize. Better yet, they also have a monetary prize for those coming in second place for each category, so there are a total of eight opportunities to win money, which means the odds are definitely going to be in your favor if you have an amazing chili dish that you feel everyone will think tastes absolutely amazing.

Night At The Circus New Year's Eve Costume Party

December 22, 2017

Night At The Circus New Year's Eve Costume Party

There’s no shortage of New Year’s Eve festivities coming up. One, however, seems that it has the potential to be much more of a show-stopper than the standard array of singles parties, ball-drop viewings, and assorted goings on. Near the beach apartments for rent in West Oahu, the Kapilina Beach Homes, a particularly intriguing NYE event is set to occur. The Night At The Circus New Year’s Eve Costume Party fast approaches:

“D’lish at the beach, in association with Kapilina Beach Homes, proudly presents... A Night at the Circus NYE Costume Party! Lets ring in the New Year together with this amazing, vintage circus-themed event.”

So if you want to join in on the fun this year, here’s what you’ll need to know.

The Venue

The party will be happening at D’lish At The Beach. The establishment is well-known for being a cool group gathering spot:

“Have a nice time here and share fascinating sandwiches, bacon and terrific tacos with your friends. Lovely pancakes are served at this restaurant. If you like tasty coffee, don't miss the opportunity to try it.”

It’s a laid-back atmosphere with a great location and beautiful scenery -- the perfect backdrop for a evening out. For the purposes of the NYE party, it’ll be a nice complement for a warm and friendly New Year opener.

The Event

In contrast to more upscale or risque NYE happenings, the Night At The Circus is set to be more of a family affair. As a costume party, it’ll be a fine time for getting dressed up in some creative getups. Costumes aren’t required, of course, but coming with an outfit helps add to the overall atmosphere and will make everything just a bit more fun. The event will also feature a DJ, dancing, live performers, a bar, and tons of great food. Here are some of the particulars.

The live entertainment, as the name suggest, will be circus-themed. That kicks off at 6:00PM, and will be followed up by the kids games and giveaways, which will continue until 8:00PM. The adult/bar area will be separated from the kids’ corner, so those that would prefer to enjoy a drink and relax away from the cacophony of the children’s area are free to do so.

Speaking of the bars, there won’t just be one, but two. The first will be a “dedicated bar,” concentrating solely on signature cocktails, champagne, wine and beer. The second bar will be “be in conjunction with our regular window and will be serving up our usual bar menu alongside the plated dinners.”

When it comes to the food, D’lish will be bringing a wide assortment: there will be 3 food booths. One with carnival type food and drinks, one with carnival snacks and treats, and a “main window” which will be serving up fancier plated dinners and drinks. As an additional note, since this is a D’lish event, there won’t be any opportunity to bring any outside food to the venue.

The food portion of the event lasts from 6:30PM to 8:30PM, after which the DJ will be setting up and taking over at 9:00PM. This will commence the dance session, wherein the floor will be packed by eager, dance-happy guests, backed by pumping beats and hit tunes. This will be the course of the evening, until the clock strikes midnight. At that point, guests will toast to the new year, then prepare to head home. All-in-all, though, a great way to spend a classy, family-friendly New Year’s Eve.

As a final note here, the event requires an RSVP, and only Kapilina residents and their guests are invited. Of course, that means you’ll need to learn a bit more about the fine community this event will be taking place in.

More On The Pristine Beach Apartments For Rent

The Night At The Circus will be taking place near and for Kapilina luxury beach home residents. What, exactly, sets this community apart and makes it one of the finest backdrops for such an amazing NYE spectacular? First off is the setting. Kapilina is located on a section of West Oahu known as Iroquois Point.

This mile-long stretch of beach exudes beauty and natural elegance, and creates the perfect setting for a community centered around superior convenience and comfort. You can catch a view of Diamond head across the ocean, traipse down to D’lish for a quick meal (or, in this case, an entire NYE party), and do so in a manner that perfectly suits to flair of the beachside setting.

Speaking of which, the rental homes here represent the very best of 2, 3, and 4 bedroom floorplans. Each could be described as spacious, with plenty of room to accommodate essentials and plenty of extras packed in that make living here a dream. Full-sized washers and dryers, for instance, mean doing laundry onsite is as simple as walking over to your unit. Combined with the most modern in kitchen and bathrooms, everything within these garden-style rentals is tailored for living large.

The resort-style accommodations don’t just end at the living units. The entire community is filled with amenities that make residing here feel like a vacation. A private marina, for instance, for those who like to feel at one with the ocean waters. All manner of physical activity is at your fingertips as well, from the fitness center to the exercise room, volleyball courts, playgrounds, and beyond. It’s these sorts of details that make the community more of an experience than a mere place to lay your head in the evening.

Beyond all that, though, Kapilina is a pet friendly community, and your four legged (or otherwise) companion is welcome along with you. For dogs, especially, there is plenty to enjoy, including the dog park, which includes agility equipment to do some exercising, and other proud pet owners with which to socialize and commune with.

It all comes together to form the sort of living experience most only dream of. See more of what Kapilina has to offer, then consider it your first choice for island living done right.

The Ultimate Quirky Gift Ideas for 2017

Finding the perfect gift for friends and family can be challenging. Some people are easy to shop for, others have such unique tastes that this year's hottest items just won't do. Then, there's always at least one family who is impossible to buy for.

So, what do you get the person who has everything? How do you find a gift for the person with specifically unique tastes? The answer is simple. You buy them a quirky gift.

Whether they're an avid baseball fan or live the coastal life in cozy beach apartments, there's a quirky gift specifically made for their selective interests. Check out these interesting gift ideas.

Fishing Pole Campfire Roaster

Fishing and campfires are essential parts of the outdoorsy lifestyle. If you have someone in your life who loves both, then this gift combines them into the ultimate bonfire roaster. With a long handle designed to look like a fishing pole and a metal skewer that can hold multiple items at once, this gift is both practical and eye catching. Best of all, there's a little metal fish at the bottom of the line, making it look as though they just reeled in a major catch.

For the Cheese Lover

Almost everyone loves cheese, but some people are fanatics about it. There are a wide variety of gifts that separate themselves from the norm while ensuring that the recipient will be thrilled after tearing open the packaging.

Opting for a unique cheese cutter or board is an excellent idea that allows them to serve up scrumptious platters, not to mention an easy to find gift. Friends who used to make their own cassette mixes could benefit from a mix-tape cheeseboard, while a marble and wood model is perfect for the more elegant. However, giving them the gift of cheese is perhaps the best way to go.

Skip the grocery store selection and head straight for the artisanal. Plymouth, located in Vermont, offers a delicious selection of flavors, all hand waxed by a master cheesemaker. Garlic peppercorn, black truffle, and sambal are just a few of their unique flavors.

Rustic Board Games

A good board game used to make for an excellent gift, but they seem to be on the decline with the rise of technology. If you happen to know someone or a family that still loves whipping out a classic game, then gift them a classic version of that game.

Rustic board games are the same favorites everyone grew up with, but created with old-school style. The like of Monopoly, Candy Land, Risk and more have all been redesigned to match their old designs. It's something different, fun and no more expensive than the modern sets.

For the Avid Reader

If you are buying for a bibliophile this holiday season, then consider this person the easiest on the list. A pair of bookends displaying one of their favorite books or something else they love is a simple yet thoughtful gift that can be used for a lifetime. If you're looking for something a little more outside of the norm, go with a library card print that showcases their favorite novel.

Coasters Are In

For a while, it seemed as though the coffee/glass coaster was a thing of the past. Recently, it's back on the rise with as home decoration becomes more and more eclectic. Companies are catching on, too, creating all sorts of unique and fascinating designs to choose from.

For instance, you could pick up a pack of Baltic Birch Coasters for someone who's fanatical about the beach side lifestyle, or a pack of record replica coasters for the a lover of vinyl. These interesting gifts not only protect the recipient's tabletops, but also allow them to show off their unique style.

Nontraditional Bouquets

A bouquet of flowers can brighten someone's day, but they hardly make for a holiday gift. No, no one actually wants poinsettias when they could just go out and buy them at nearly any local store. You can, however, get them something far outside the norm.

Take this salami bouquet from Olympia Provisions for example. It comes with wither three or six sticks of top-of-the-line, gourmet salami wrapped in butcher paper. These include French, Spanish, Italian and Greek style flavors. Wine works just as well with the tops turned down, but takes a little more care in packaging.

One of a Kind Purses

There's nothing quite like a new purse, but it isn't always easy to pick one out for a friend. Tastes might vary, but everyone has an eye for design. The company Mark & Graham create what they call the leather triangle pouch, an unoriginally named mini-purse created to hold the tinier items within larger bags.

These tine gifts are awesome for makeup, earbuds, phones an more to eliminate ever having to dig through a purse again. Plus, you can even get them monogrammed to add a personal touch.

An At Home Spa Day

Gifting a spa treatment is never a bad idea, but you can make that gift personal by giving a home spa kit instead. Consider the Farm Fresh Spa Experience, a delightful array of soothing ingredients. It contains a lavender goat's milk bath tea, cocoa butter bath truffle, shea creme and mint lip balm. Each item is made using natural ingredients from pink Himalayan salt to kaolin clay.

Beach Apartments

Holiday surprises are wonderful, but the best gift of all is having a special place to call home. Take Kapalina Beach Homes for example. nestled at Iroquois Point in West Oahu amidst pristine lagoons and private beaches, this amenity rich resort is the premier destination in island living.

These rental homes and townhouses create the perfect backdrop to enjoy a mix of indoor and outdoor living complete with a world-class beach and community oriented activities. Featuring expansive floor plans, each home comes complete with full sized washers and dryers, ample parking and modern finishes to make even the longest of days feel like a vacation.

Welcome to everyday resort living. Welcome to Kapilina.

You’ll need to pick up your packet the day before the race as well, so make sure you’re out there and able to get everything you need if you’re going to be a participant. Now, onto those entry fees.

That’s just for normal individual entries, of course, Youth members, high schoolers, military, seniors, and college kids get a discount. Check the registration page for more details.

If you want to volunteer for the event, you’re welcome to do so. Just drop a line on the registration page:

OK, So What About The Actual Run?

Now, onto the fun stuff. What is the Fun Run, exactly? That answer we can glean from the event’s Facebook Page:

“The Santa 5K Fun RUN is a holiday experience like none other on Oahu! This run will take place in the Kapilina Beach Homes Community featuring a scenic 5K non-timed run. Then stick around and check out the Holiday Shopping Extravaganza, then top it all off and take family pictures with Santa! It's Fun for the whole family!”

The floats are decorated in spectacular fashion by the local clubs and community staff, and will provide no end of delight for those in attendance. Get a heads-up on the parade route by checking out the parade map here. As you can see, it rolls throughout the entire community, taking a turn past the splash park, lagoon, the marina, the beach park, and ending up near the mini mart and gas station.

There are parades, parties, and much more that are sure to make you excited. What sort of things are you interested in? You might want to kick off the Christmas season with the Honolulu City Lights happening on December 2nd:

“This year’s opening night festivities will feature the unveiling of 56 new animal-themed ornaments adorning the city’s 50-foot holiday tree. The original designs were inspired by the whimsical look of the official 2017 Friends of Honolulu City Lights ornaments, which celebrate the Honolulu Zoo.”

The event will include a holiday concert, a light parade, a visit from Santa, movie screenings, and even a toys for tots collection to help the needy. After the lighting ceremony is done, that doesn’t mean that the fun is over, though. There are plenty of commemorative bits of clothing and ornaments you can get, and you can even tour the lights in grand fashion. According to Thrillist, a trolley ride will provide the optimal view you’re looking for:

“Gather some friends and hop aboard an open-air trolley for a breezy and unobstructed tour of the city’s festive light display. Caroling is optional. Note that the trolley doesn't run on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.”

Thanksgiving In Ewa Beach

In some of the most scenic areas of West Oahu, things work a bit differently than they might elsewhere. The townhomes for rent on Ewa Beach, for example, provide access to a level of beauty and comfort seen in few other places on the planet. The community is one-of-a-kind, and when it comes to celebrating Thanksgiving, you'll find the way its done here adds a certain something special that you may have never seen before. Hawaii, and Oahu in general, is well-known for having plenty going on around Thanksgiving time. If you want to bring Thanksgiving in with the fun and merriment that it deserves, be sure to check out some of these great ideas for Thanksgiving in Ewa Beach.

How It's Done In Ewa Beach

There are plenty of options to pick from, and they're as diverse in nature as Hawaii itself. You might head straight for the Thanksgiving feast, or entertain yourself with a family-friendly event before diving into the big meal. The choice is yours, so be sure to keep the following possibilities in mind.

Check Out A Performance

If the idea of amazing music and amazing food appeals to you, then you might want to head to the Live Music Night at Eating House 1849. This fabulous restaurant, which itself is a "homage to Hawaii's vibrant culinary heritage," delivers with so-called "plantation cuisine" in a comfortable setting that always delights its guest. The eatery has been featured in numerous publications including The Los Angeles Times and Eater. Founded by internationally-known Japanese-American chef Roy Yamaguchi, the menu is packed with creations straight from the mind of the James Beard Award winner, and on Thanksgiving, like any other day, it will be a treat to eat there.

Adding music to the mix will make the meal that much more delightful. Live music nights are a regular occurrence here, happening on Thursdays and Sundays. On Thanksgiving Thursday, the fun will start at 5:30PM and last until 8:00PM. The lineup will be one you'll not want to miss, as it will feature Christ Rego playing "a great mix of oldies and Hawaiian favorites" as guests pour in to have dinner to the backdrop of the soulful sounds.

If you weren't already aware, Chris is a skilled guitarist, influenced by the likes of Jimi Hendrix, John McLaughlin, and Al Di Meola. After first picking up the ukelele at age five, he embarked on his journey into musical excellence, later learning the guitar and becoming an exemplary live performer. He's played crowds as big as the Blaisedell Arena, but is also a regular at Eating House 1849, and his impressive musicianship and subtle showmanship is always a treat. Be sure to check out some of his live clips and make a point to make it on Thanksgiving for what is sure to be a stand-out show.

Attend A Thanksgiving Party

Instead of Thanksgiving dinner, why not try a Thanksgiving Lunch on for size? If you take a quick trip down to the Plaza Club on Fort Street Mall in Honolulu, you'll be able to do exactly that from 10:30AM to 2:00PM on Thanksgiving day. Tucked away in the heart of Honolulu's Pioneer Plaza, the Plaza Club has served as the community's premiere downtown location for more than 35 years. Style, grace, and elegance are par for the course here, which is why it has served as a locus for meetings, conferences, weddings, and other social gatherings for decades.

On Turkey Day, you need but purchase a ticket for the sumptuous soiree, then arrive promptly to enjoy the feast. There are tickets available for both members and non-members, as well as special kids-priced tickets for the young ones. The menu will feature an amazing fusion of Thanksgiving favorites and locally-infused dishes, including ahi and tako poke, tropical fruit platters, various salads, mashed potatoes, rice, vegetables, assorted meats, and a slew of delicious desserts. You can view the menu in full here, along with the varied ticket tiers that range from 31-80 dollars.

Try A Cool Gala On For Size

For an alternate take on the Thanksgiving feast, you can head to the Barefoot Beach Cafe on Queen's Surf Beach for a a laid-back, gala-style Thanksgiving — the Prix Fixe Dinner:

"Barefoot Beach Cafe is a casual beachfront restaurant and cafe on Queen’s Surf Beach at the Diamond Head end of Waikiki."

The Cafe is one of the highlights of Honolulu, featured prominently in Honolulu Weekly and Honolulu Family. Their range of services and reputation for excellence is well-known:

"This place was perfectly away from the crowds of the Waikiki strip. The food is just as good as any fancy restaurant and much more affordable. During the day, attire is board shorts, tank tops and bikinis. At night, its lit up for a perfect date night."

For Thanksgiving, the interest in this beachside eatery is even greater than normal, which is why they've been preselling tickets and recommend you snag your tickets quickly for a spot at the event. Once there, you'll have your pick of dishes, including roast turkey, vegetarian mushrooms, greens, cranberry chutney, pumpkin crunch dessert, and more. Make sure to head over to their Eventbrite Page to find tickets, and prepare yourself for a meal quite unlike any other.

Hit The Golf Course

If you'd like, you can also take a trip down to the Ewa Beach Golf Club for Thanksgiving. This is one of the best-looking courses in the area, well-known for their skill at hosting special events, and they'll be hosting some special Thanksgiving hours on the 23rd to accommodate those who want to play a few holes and enjoy a meal at the Clubhouse Restaurant:

"The family-friendly restaurant at Ewa Beach offers an eclectic menu in a warm, welcoming casual setting. We serve local favorites created by our Executive Chef Kiyohisa Hirano. Using his years of experience, Chef Kiyo has compiled a menu of house-made pupus and entrees served in generous portions. Our bar and restaurant is perfect for post or pre-golf activities, or just come for the great food and wonderful views."
What could be more relaxing than a round of golf followed by a chill feast, or, if you're feeling adventurous, vice-versa?

Spend Thanksgiving Right At The Townhouses For Rent On Ewa Beach

The Kapilina Beach Homes make for the perfect spot to throw your own Thanksgiving Spectacular, or to rest and retreat after you've explored Ewa Beach and beyond on Turkey Day. There's something for everyone here, from amazing living units to fabulous community amenities, so be sure to put this at the top of your list for places to call home in Hawaii.

Sunset Music Festival

Here's the setting—Oahu, one of the most popular and populous of the Hawaiian islands. Home of Honolulu, Waikiki, and Kailua Bay. On the western portion of the island, there's been something of a boom, signified by the burgeoning new resorts and offerings like the luxury rentals in Ewa beach. At the Kaplina Beach Homes, a scenic area near the Barber's Point Golf Course and Hokalei Country Club, there's something even cooler going on, a little-known but certain to be exciting music festival that's starting to cause quite the buzz. Let's step inside this new to-do and see what it's all about.

First Off, What's Ewa Beach?

Known colloquially as simply Ewa, this part of the Ewa District And City & County Of Honolulu. Not quite a city, it's a census-designated place consisting of some 15,000 residents, about a 24-mile drive from Honolulu. Once a plantation, the area now plays home to residences like the Kapilina Beach Apartments, which sit along the scenic portion of Iroquois Point. Ewa Beach played an influential role in the culture of Hawaii throughout much of the 20th Century, so it's no surprise that a music festival would take root in this history-rich part of the state.

So, About That Festival

Dubbed the Sunset Music Festival, the event is taking place on Saturday, November 18th at the Pilikai Beach Park, from 5PM-9PM. According to the official event page, the "golden hour" is offering quite a bit of excitement, provided you're a resident of Kapilina:

Let's breakdown these vibrant personalities that will be gracing the stage, shall we? If you've not heard of Annette Oasay Music before, you'll want to familiarize yourself with the emcee for this grand event. Oasay is a singer, songwriter, musician, promoter, and coach who runs Annette Oasay Music, an entertainment company that handles booking at places like D'Lish On The Beach, Aloun Farms, Makanalani Market, and, of course, the Kapilina Beach Homes. A talented performer in her own right, Oasay has helped to craft this electric lineup and breath life into this amazing new festival.

Kicking off the performance part of the event is Studio 808 Dance Project. You may well have already heard of this studio. The talented cadre of performers is headquartered on Pupupani Street, and dedicated to the art in a deep way:

"The mission of STUDIO 808 DANCEPROJECT llc is to teach and train individuals of all ages the art of dance. The studio will educate, encourage and nurture these students who find dance appealing, fun and a learning experience."

Their skills run the gamut, from Contemporary Dance to R&B and beyond, they've honed their techniques to the razor's edge to excite and delight their audiences to the utmost degree. One look at the coordination and choreography that they put into some of their routines reveals that these are serious practitioners of the craft, and more than capable of showing their expressive nature across multiple styles of dance.

Little is known about the mysterious Next Level Band, but Kapena is a group that needs very little in the way of introductions:

"Kapena, considered to be one of Hawaii’s premier island bands has more than 20 Island Music CD’s to their credit."

That's quite the feat, and while the group has gone through its fair share of changes, they've still got founding member Kelly Boy De Lima leading them as they headline this event and the band, even in its current, evolved incarnation, "continues to be an institution that embraces what islanders fell in love with when fans first heard the unique sound of their electrifying Kapena music."

The group's history is long and storied, stretching back to the mid-1980s. From humble beginnings they rose to prominence, always adapting to the times but keeping the unique spirit that informs their inimitable sound. Through awards and success, they've maintained a freshness, something that was further emphasized when the title of Kapena was passed to the next generation:

"In the early 2000’s, Kelly Boy introduced Hawaii to the next generation of Kapena, his three children—Kapena, Kalena and Lilo. With the next generation came a new, fresh Kapena sound. Kelly Boy’s three children have gained success of their own, writing new original music and being nominated and winning multiple Na Hoku Hanohano awards."

If you've not had a chance to check out their sound yet, you'd do well to check out a few performance videos, which showcase their talent with their instruments and unique ability to express and emote within every aspect of their performances. With a blend of Ukelele, Drums, Keyboard, and Bass, along with impressive vocals from the whole group, they're able to excite like few other groups are capable of.

Their acclaim stretches worldwide, and the band will also be a fixture at NAMM come January 2018. These are true professionals who respect and refine the art of music, and their inclusion on the bill at Sunset Music Festival is a true honor, sure to be a treat for all those in attendance.

Iroquois Point Preschool's Halloween Carnival

When most people think of Hawaii, they imagine themselves sitting in a lounge chair with a drink in hand soaking up the sun while breathing in the cool ocean air. It's a destination where the cares and worries of daily life magically melt away into utter bliss. If you live on the island, it can still be like that but you know that sometime within the next five minutes your child is going to need your care and attention.

Living in the apartment homes for rent in Ewa Beach, HI, is a dream come true. Life still goes on, though. The bills need paid, people get sick, and lunches need packed before school. It isn't always easy to keep children entertained. Thankfully, there are all sorts of outstanding activities here for children to take part in. One of the best ones on the island is coming up, the IPPS Halloween Carnival.

It might still be warm and sunny here, but Fall is in full swing and Hawaiians still know how to celebrate this wonderful season. If you've never heard of this spooktacular occasion before, here's what to expect.

When and Where

First things first, the date and the time. This event will take place on October 28th from 4 pm to 9 pm. It takes place right at the preschool, which is on Iroquois Avenue right here in Ewa Beach. Now that that's out of the way, let's dive into the festivities.

Fun in the Sun

This is Iroquois Point Preschools largest fundraising event of the year. Friends, family, neighbors and anyone else you can possibly think of is more than welcome to come take part in the fun. The nearby lagoon will be the central point of the festival where business and craft vendors will have their tables set up. There are all sorts of fall-themed games for the children to play, face painting, and interactive entertainers that make Halloween as exciting as it is in Oahu.

Live music will be playing throughout the event, and there is always more than enough food for everyone. This year will also feature a silent auction featuring items from numerous well known companies throughout the island. The auction is a live event, which means you'll be able to bid right on your smart phone by following this link.

Amazing Food

This year's vendor line up is looking fantastic! If you aren't familiar with the island's local eateries, then take a look at this list to get your mouth watering.

IPPS will also have their food tent set up this year to serve cotton candy, popcorn, and bottled water.

Dancing

Come dressed in your best costume and get ready to bust a move in the Halloween Freeze Dance Off. As everyone is moving and shaking about the DJ will yell freeze, prompting everyone to strike a pose. Points for best dance moves and best poses will determine who the winner of this fun contest will be. That is, of course, separate from the costume contest.

Adding an Extra Level of Fun

Kids love inflatable bounce houses, it's an unwritten law of the universe. Luckily, IPPS is going to have a ton of them. There are enclosed bounce houses, inflatable water slides, and open trampoline-like bouncers as well. Your kids are going to love this outstanding event. It truly is the best Fall event in the Ewa Beach area.

September 29, 2017

IPES Family Fun Night!

Iroquois Point Elementary School will be holding their annual Family Fun Night on October 6, 2017. IPES has been helping children learn and expand their minds since 1960. IPES has always been an active member of the community.

They face unique challenges, as many of their students are from military families. These families often move more often than the rest of the community. This is a challenge for the child, parent, and school faculty. In order to keep the children learning at a pace that fits in with the educational system, we offer as much personal attention as possible.

Events like Family Fun Night help us fund the extra programs we may have to create to meet the need of the children. It also helps to welcome new people to our beautiful facility.

Family Fun Night is a fair atmosphere. There will be games, bounce houses, food vendors and food trucks. The Lego Movie will be shown. This annual event is important to the community and everyone is urged to attend.

Are you new to the area?

If you are new to the area, we wish to welcome you. We are all neighbors and friends. The ever-changing face of the community sometimes makes it difficult to know where to begin. Iroquois Point is only 2.5 miles from Ewa Beach. The most popular place to seek luxury homes and townhouses is Kapilina Beach Homes. The Kapilina Beach Homes were built to allow people to live in this island paradise in absolute comfort, for however long they will be here.

Ewa Beach is an example of people returning the land to nature. For many years Ewa Beach was under-developed. It was the site of many of Hawaii’s huge plantation systems which are a primary resource of income for the people of the region. Unfortunately, this left a scar on the face of what was to be a paradise.

As the developers restored beaches to their natural state, more and more people came looking for apartments to rent in Honolulu. Our local community is accustomed to military families and the area is military friendly. While it is not always the case, military families may have to move more often than other families. This is one reason why we hold this community event. We know the challenges you will face as you embrace this new home. We want to help you feel at home.

Location

Kapilina Homes are located near Kapolei. You have easy access to the city and to the beach. Even in Hawaii, finding that combination is difficult. There are huge shopping areas, malls, and boutiques nearby. You have access to museums, parks, theaters, and a thriving nightlife. But at the end of the day, you come back to your oasis.

What it takes to be a luxury apartment in Hawaii

Hawaii is luxury. From the moment you step off the plane until you depart, you are surrounded by luxury. Tourism is huge in Hawaii. This set the bar at a high standard in order to maintain the luxury status.

Kapilina Apartments have a perfect view of the sea. There is plenty of wide open spaces for children to play and it is a safe community. The homes have all the modern conveniences you can imagine. This includes:

The homes are spacious and meticulously designed. They are available with two, three, or four bedrooms. The two bedroom floorplan includes 1.5 bathrooms and the three and four bedroom floorplans each offer 2 bathrooms. The area is safe, but for your added comfort, this is a gated community. There is virtually no crime rating in Kapilina.

Kapilina Homes - The Community

Ewa Beach is a smaller community in comparison to other residential areas on the islands. There are roughly 15,000 people that live in the area. Growth in the area is concentrated on quality versus quantity.

The white beaches and watersports are popular attractions to residents of Kapilina Homes and there are some very nice golf courses to enjoy. There is a water park nearby for the children. Of course, there is easy access to medical facilities if they are needed. Almost everything is within walking distance.

You will find, many of the local residents have come from generations of their families that worked and lived on Ewa beach. They will gladly tell you about the old Ewa Beach. The railroad on the island which was used by the plantations is still in operation today. You can ride the railroad right along the shoreline. You will get a feel of the ancestry attached to this location.

Schools

Of course, we have told you about Iroquois Park Elementary School and there are other great schools in the district. But, what is really impressive is that 9 of the schools in Hawaii, including IPAS, ranked near the top of the chart for their public and private educational facilities.

Dining

Any area where tourism is heavy is going to have a variety of places to dine. Of Course, when you come to Hawaii, you want Hawaiian food. Since this the real deal, the traditional Hawaiian dishes will be unlike what you would get in most restaurants in the States. However, the influence of Asian queen. Is evident. There are a lot of Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, Tahitian and Portuguese foods. But even in the Hawaiian foods, you will taste a hint of Japanese flavors.

The IPES Family Fun Night is a great way to meet the people in the community while you support education for your and all children. We trust you will enjoy living in your luxurious Kapilina home. You will find that our community calendar is normally a busy one, year-round. There is always something going on. We are one here. We work as one community and we play as one community. Please join us.

Preparing to Move to Oahu with Kids

Whether you intend to live in Kapilina Ewa Beach luxury apartments or anywhere else on Oahu, you’ll want to prepare ahead of time to know what’s in store for you and your kids. The great thing about moving to this beautiful island paradise is that there’s plenty to do for adults and even more interesting and exciting things for kids to experience. So you’ll never run out of fun filled educational ideas and we’re going to help you prepare for this move so you’ll know exactly what to do with your kids as soon as you get here.

Remember, kids love to participate in all sorts of interesting and fun outdoor or indoor recreational activities. And we want you to help them to experience all of the amazing things that Oahu has to offer. Whether you plan to take your kids hiking, swimming, playing sports, and more, there’s definitely going to be some amazing things on the horizon for you and your little ones.

With that said, we will now delve into some of the most exciting things for you to do with your children when you move to Oahu. You’ll be happy to take them to participate in these interesting, fun, and thought-provoking activities that children and parents will absolutely love and adore. But before we do, we’ll now take a closer look at the school system.

The Oahu School System

We’re being totally honest with you today, so we’re going to tell you right now that the Oahu school system really isn’t the greatest according to some people. Public schools here in Oahu and all throughout Hawaii have received many reviews that are far from favorable. But at the same time, it is possible to find schools with a good reputation. As you know, making a blanket statement about an entire school system is unfair. While there might be an outstanding number of unpopular schools in the area, it doesn’t mean that every school has a bad reputation.

Parents, we also want to remind you that your kids will get as much out of school as they are willing to put in. If they aren’t willing to put in too much time to learn and prefer goofing around and slacking off, then their experience in school isn’t going to be that great. The teachers will do their best to keep their students on the right path, but it’s up to you as parents to also make sure your children are doing everything they can to get a quality education.

You do have the option to send your children to expensive private schools. There are some excellent private schools on Oahu. It doesn’t mean your child is going to get a phenomenal education if they aren’t willing to put in the time, effort, and energy to succeed. That’s where you come in as parents to make sure your children are working hard to get the great education they deserve.

Taking Advantage of Museums, Learning Centers, Zoos, and Other Children Related Activities on Oahu

You want your kids to be able to take advantage of the best, most interesting things to do on Oahu. It is possible for them to learn and have fun at the same time, and we’re about to share a bunch of places for you to go with your children. They are as follows:

The Dole Plantation is an especially appealing option for kids. Believe it or not, they really enjoy and appreciate going to the plantation because they get to run around through the giant maze, which is a whole lot of fun, and they also get to take the train ride. Every kid seems to love trains, so this is definitely an excellent option and one that you’ll appreciate as a parent.

While you’re at it, you can head over to Honolulu to take advantage of free Dole Cannery Regal Cinemas summer movies. All summer long, starting at 10 AM, this cinema plays free movies for the kids. Obviously your kids are going to love watching fun and popular cartoon movies and other educational theatrical presentations with kids their age. Plus it’s free, so you’ll appreciate the ability to take your children to this amazing theater without having to spend a small fortune to pay for the movie experience.

Another excellent place to take your kids is called Sea Life Park. It’s very similar to Sea World in many ways, but it’s definitely not the same park and it’s run by different people. But it’s certainly going to be a whole lot of fun for the kids. It’s set up for the kids to play and have a good time. They host birthday parties here, there are plenty of beautiful fish to look at, and they even put on a fun and exciting dolphin show that kids and parents all seem to really enjoy.

Besides the many great options we’ve already shared with you, there are also a number of excellent outdoor activities and recreational options that your kids will certainly appreciate and enjoy. We want you to provide your kids was an amazing experience as they live in Oahu, so please consider the options we’re going to share with you below.

First, we have the Ala Moana Beach Park. This is a fun park that has many shady trees to sit under if you’d like to go on a picnic. There’s a beach with a kid friendly lagoon and even a man-made shore break. This is fun for the whole family.

Backyard Oahu is also a great place to go if you like hiking and backpacking the many wonderful trails in the area. You’ll find valuable information about the mountains and valleys and other incredible hiking opportunities to experience as a family.

Conclusion

Please use the guidance we’ve shared to prepare to move to Oahu with your kids. They’re going to love living in this beautiful paradise and you’ll have lots of fun with them if you try out the many suggestions we’ve shared with you today.

A Day In The Life At Kapilina

There are a lot of people who do a double take when you mention living in Ewa Beach. That is understandable to a degree. But one look at the Kapilina apartments and you will know that you are missing out and thinking of the old Ewa Beach.

Years ago, Ewa Beach was an undeveloped area that was used for farming. The people who lived there farmed the huge plantations which were the state’s primary source of income. At one point during that era, Ewa Beach was almost entirely a sugar plantation and a train came through to haul the product. As the military bases grew and tourism boomed, the main parts of Hawaii were brought into focus. They were beautiful and easily transformed into tourists attractions.

Kapilina Apartments

Today, Ewa Beach is home to luxury homes such as Kapilina apartments. The plantations are gone and the trains are now historical attractions to take you on a ride through history. The old ways are still alive and well in some areas, but Kapilina Beach homes are anything but plain. No expense was spared to transform this natural paradise into a highly-desired resort-style residential complex.

The apartments are new and come with all the luxury amenities you expect from a quality home. There are private beaches and wide open space for children to run and play. See pristine lagoons and residents can swim under the Hawaiian stars in their private pool. Enjoy golf in the Hawaiian breeze at one of the many exclusive golf clubs. Entertain friends on your private patio and have some drinks in the lounge area.

Children here can walk to school and there are plenty of safe places for them to play. Parents are just a short distance to major shopping areas, medical facilities, industry, and places of worship. While home includes all the fun of privacy, less than crowded beaches, water sports, and community, Honolulu is very nearby and there you will find historical museums, arts, Hawaiian customs, theme parks, world-class dining, dancing, and much more.

Diversity in cuisine

It is no secret that the Japanese culture has a huge influence on the Hawaiian people. When it comes to food, Hawaii is unique. While the traditional Hawaiian dishes are still served, you will find a heavy presence of Japanese Chinese, Filipino, Tahitian, and Portuguese foods. When you add in the melting pot of our military men and women who routinely live in Hawaii, you find that the food choices can come from anywhere in the world. The diversity in food is almost as exciting as the diversity in people.

When you want to step away from the life of relaxation and expand your mind, there are plenty of wonderful museums nearby. There are exhibits found nowhere else. The history of American from the view of Hawaii is unlike any other state in the United states. Enjoy the arts, unique sculptures and photographs from the past.

Are you looking for a little excitement? Do you want to enjoy the bright lights and thrills of chance? Check out the casino scene in Honolulu. These fine casinos are rated as high by patrons as many Vegas clubs. Enjoy drinks, shows, great food and 24-hour fun. Take your friends and make it a weekend. While there are not as many casinos in Hawaii as in the mainland, they are top of the line and guarantee you a first-class good time.

USAsia Casino Tours
Island Casino
The Orleans Resort & Casino
Club New
Live Music & Dancing

Ewa Beach is just minutes from Honolulu. It is close enough to easily visit, yet far enough away as to not disrupt your life. We are listing a few of the most popular. But there are tons more. Do your own research and find your favorite.

Surfer, The Bar

Live music, dancing, bar, and restaurant combination

Amuse Wine Bar

Very trendy wine bar with an impressive selection. Enjoy live music while you sip wine and sample wonderful cheeses.

Dukes Canoe Bar

Hawaiian culture, fruity cocktails, fresh seafood and dancing

Rumfire

Great drinks, a view of the beach, live music and DJ, dancing and great food. What is not to love?

Shopping

Life at Kapilina apartments provides your needs. You have everything that others only dream of. But sometimes you just have to get out and go shopping. From Ewa Beach, you are about 10-15 minutes from major shopping malls. But, this is also an area of artsy, creative people with lots of boutiques and specialty shops. There's also no shortage of small shops where you can buy hand made jewelry, beautiful woodwork, paintings, and traditional Hawaiian pieces.

Daily life at Kapilina apartments is as close to perfect as man can make it. Every detail of your living accommodations has been examined and meticulously cared for. You simply walk in and you are home. Enjoy the good life and shut the world outside. But when you are ready to get out and have some fun, you will not have far to go.

Enjoy your friends and family in your own little piece of Utopia. Follow your dreams, allow your kids to grow up where they have fun routinely and they are safe. Clean air, beautiful clear skies, blue seas, and a constant sea breeze, sparkling sand and natural wild life is all yours because you deserve it. This is life the way it was intended to be and it is all waiting at Kapilina Beach homes.

Amazing Things To Do With Kids in Ewa Beach

It is a life everyone dreams of - living in a resort-style Kapilina Beach home in beautiful Hawaii. With a secluded beach and a community filled with fun and often free things for children to enjoy, it is like a life-long vacation.

Ewa Beach, Hawaii

Ewa Beach is a beautiful community in Hawaii in the county of Honolulu. Before Ewa became a town, it was a huge plantation. The influence Ewa Sugar Plantation made on Hawaiian economics was substantial. The railroad was a big part of that. The railroad was in place to transport produce and sugarcane to processing or market. This plantation, the sugar production, and the ability to transport products made Ewa a major player in the financial health of Hawaii. However, in the 1980’s the sugar plantations began to fail.

By the 1980’s many investors began to look at Ewa Beach. This was a hidden jewel. The assets it offered other than for food production were untouched. It was a natural beauty in a prime area as it was close to many attractions that brought in citizens and tourists. The housing boom began. Beautiful homes began springing up. These were not your average neighborhood homes. These were resort style apartments, beach front mansions, and homes with all the modern luxuries and conveniences. This brought in influential and successful people who lived the good life. This is where this class of people chose to raise their children. They moved to paradise.

Kapilina Beach Homes

Everything a family would want in island living is built into this community. Kapilina Beach Homes are beautifully placed within pristine lagoons, more than a mile of private beaches, with every modern amenity. But these are not just apartments. They are luxurious homes built for families. Adults enjoy fine dining, world-class golf courses and clubs, museums, arts, a thriving nightlife and a safe and friendly community. Children have wide open spaces, water parks, parks, playgrounds, sports parks, and activities for year round enjoyment.

Fun things to do with the kids

Hawaiian Railroad Society

This is the only historic railroad on the island. Ride the train for a beautiful trip along the sea and learn about the history of the railroad in Hawaii. Learn firsthand what an impact this invention had on the lives of all the people of the islands. There are picnic areas for you to enjoy before and after the ride. There is also a stop along the way for ice cream. This is an inexpensive activity for the family and it is operational year-round.

Wet-N-Wild Hawaii

For a water park to be this big of a hit in a water paradise like Hawaii, it must be more than a normal water park. Wet-N-Wild is in the top 10 most visited family attractions in Hawaii. It was recently voted Honolulu Magazine’s “Best Family Attraction”. This water park is unique and anything but average.

Wet-N-Wild Hawaii sits on 25 acres of land and offers 25 rides and activities. It is the only water park in the state of Hawaii. Residents are given a discount and season or annual passes are available so the park is available to your child anytime they want to go. Besides the thrilling rides, the park presents movie nights, and Summer Twilight with extended hours to enjoy the park in the twilight hours of the day. The rides are rated for you from “chill”, “moderate”, to “extreme”. No matter the age of the kids, there are rides that will thrill them. They have video Karaoke night and huge end of summer bashes for teenagers.

Of course, there are many food and drink carts throughout the park. However, Wet-N-Wild Hawaii also has a cafe for a real meal. Adults can relax and have drinks at an on-site bar and enjoy watching sports on the big screen television while the kids have fun.

White Plains Beach

White Plains Beach is a less used and more private beach, perfect for your family day of sea fun. It has an exposed reef break which creates great surfing conditions year-round. Even new surfers are welcome as there are surfing lessons available and if you need to rent your equipment, that is also an option.

There is a rocky area close to the shore which adds to the privacy. Monk seals feel right at home here and you are almost guaranteed to see one or two venture onto the sand to bask in the sun. Water fun includes but is not limited to:

Swimming area
Paddle boarding
Boogie boarding
Snorkeling
Surfing

You are treated to spectacular views of Diamond Head and Honolulu in the distance and a panoramic view of this island paradise.

Aulani - A Disney Resort and Spa

This is a fabulous resort in the style of Disney. Beautiful hotels with all the luxury amenities, with fitness rooms, spas, room service, and upscale elegance are at your fingertips. Aulani has all of the rides, shows, and attractions that your kids could ever dream of. This facility is massive and cannot be explored in a single day.

Popular commercial attractions

Of course, your children will want to experience some of the big name parks and activities that are famous for the area. We will list a few of them for you. Note, these are a bit pricey but often young children are free and other children will have a discounted admission price.

As you can see, Ewa Beach is no longer the plantation area it once was. This is a place where people come home. This is a place of living a life of extravagance and class. There are things to do and see every single day. Enjoy the bright lights of the large attractions, and enjoy the quiet majesty of the history of the royalty, customs, and people that created this magical world.

Check Out These Top Rated West Oahu Attractions

Oahu is an attraction all in itself, but those staying at the luxury Oahu apartments for rent (or any of the fine locations on the island) are a short trip away from the island's best attractions. You won't find these unique spots anywhere else in the world.

Hawaii's Plantation Village

Once upon a time (the 1800's), Hawaii saw an influx of immigrants who were hunting for work on the island's many sugar plantations. Plantation Village serves as the only place left where the preservation of those times still remains. It's considered a historic museum and open for guided tours only. Visitors can expect to see authentically furnished buildings from the era, a Chinese social hall, Japanese shrine, sumo ring, and saimin stand alongside historic homes. This is a neat piece of history, and a nice day trip sitting roughly 30 minutes outside of Honolulu.

Aloha Stadium Swap Meet

Three times a week you can find hundreds of vendors and bargain hunters at this outdoor bazaar. If you're looking for the perfect souvenir, this is where you will find it. Ethnic wares, swimsuits, shell necklaces, Japanese pottery, gorgeous Chinese dresses, and so much can all be found here in the Aloha Stadium parking lot. There is also plenty of ethnic food to enjoy. Make sure to wear sunscreen and bring some bottled water as this can be an hours long event.

Hawaiian Fire

Head over to this store to pick up t-shirts, backpacks, beach accessories and more. This store offers Hawaiian Firefighter themed clothing and accessories, and all proceeds benefit the local athletic teams and organizations. It's a neat little shop sure to have something you'll like.

Laniwai Spa

What's more Hawaiian than pampering and relaxation? This spa at Aulani really does it right. Each member of the staff is extensively trained in Hawaiian culture and history to make sure the energies they project during your visit are just right. That might sound goofy, but one visit here will have you believing that it's true. With over 150 different treatments, you'll be able to come back again and again. They also have what is called the Kulu Wai, and outdoor hydrotherapy garden with private vitality pools, mineral baths, rain showers, and whirlpool jet spas. Only in Oahu!

Waikele Premium Outlets

Shopaholics rejoice! Here's your one stop spot to indulge in all of your shopping needs. Take a shuttle from Waikiki to avoid the traffic, and enjoy over 50 different premium shopping stores with all of the finest merchandise. Calvin Klein, Saks Fifth Avenue, AIX Armani Exchange, and Coach are just a few examples. Go on, satisfy that urge to find the best deals!

Ama Ama

Did someone say food? This fine dining restaurant at the Disney resort offers its patrons dishes served with fresh local ingredients. Enjoy exotic regional delights from traditional Thai dishes to the exquisite Japanese Kurobuta pork. The restaurant also offers stunning views of the Ko Olina lagoons and the Pacific Ocean. Throw in some live music with half priced lunch menus and you have a fantastic dining location.

Makahiki

Everyone loves a good buffet, but one comprised of locally sourced sustainable food can't be beat. You'll find a mix of Hawaiian seafood, Asian delights, grilled meats with vegetables, an a la carte menu, and more. Adults can enjoy a drink in the Olelo room, while kids can enjoy the Character Breakfast. Oh! I almost forgot, this is at Disney's Aulani resort. Plan in advance and you can book your child a reservation for breakfast with all of their favorite Disney characters. How's that for a vacation?

Makaha Beach Park

This list of Oahu attractions just wouldn't be complete without mentioning some of the top beaches, and Makaha might just be the best. Sure, you could just go to Wet 'N Wild Hawaii for some water park fun, or you could experience the true atmosphere of the islands. Makaha offers a view of the local lifestyle that most visitors don't get the chance to see. This laid back atmosphere harbors ukulele music, fishing, hibachi grills, and lawn chair lounging. It is also a favorite hangout spot for island legend Buffalo Keaulana. This surf master made Makaha home to the world's first international surf meet in 1951, and continues to host the Big Board Surfing Classic. It offers decent swimming, but the true attraction comes from those looking for its major waves. For the true Hawaiian experience, this is where you'll want to go.

White Plains Beach Park

Once a part of the Barbers Point Naval Air Station, this prime spot of beach is now open to the public. Think Waikiki minus the crowds and condos. There's plenty of waves to be surfed here, and the shoreline offers a more relaxing swim. From here, you will be able to get a good look at Pearl Harbor and Diamond Head, which make for wonderful sights. Speaking of sights, this beach earns its name from the white colored sands that can be found here. Tree covered barbecue areas are perfect for grilling, and the restroom facilities are clean as a whistle. This is also home to a rare sight here on the islands, a monk seal. This critter makes his home on the beach for several months out of the year, which is strange as these creatures are rarely seen here in Hawaii. If you had the perfect day trip in mind, look no further.

Electric Beach

Are you an avid snorkeler? If not, have you ever wanted to try? If your answer is yes, then head on over to Electric Beach. It gets its name from the neighboring power plant. That might not sound like something great, but it is. The plant expels warm water that attracts a wide variety of aquatic life. You can find tropical fish, sea turtles, moray eels, and even spinner dolphins. This beach isn't crowded like the main touristy ones most head to. The only precaution, wear shoes.

The Best Beaches on Oahu

Many of us have considered a vacation to Hawaii, but have you ever considered living there? Those that have chosen to make the apartments in Ewa Beach their home have access to all of the wonderful beaches this beautiful location has to offer. Considered a one-stop spot for all things Hawaiian, the island is one of the most gorgeous places in the world. So stick an umbrella in your drink and kick your feet up while checking the best beaches in Oahu.

Electric Beach (aka Kahe Point)

This beach earns its name from its location, across the electric plant. However, the name does it no justice. This beach is teeming with tropical fish, and is sure to put a smile on any snorkeler's face. Green sea turtles, spinner dolphins, and moray eels have been here as well. Why? The plant lets out hot water that attracts these various forms of sea life. As far as crowds go, this is a more secluded spot. You won't find the touristy idea of a beach when heading to Kahe Point. Make sure to wear some shoes to avoid cutting your feet on the rocks, and be careful of the strong current. Don't worry, even if you're just an okay swimmer you can handle it. Free parking, showers, toilets, a little shade, the sea life, and seclusion make this spot a perfect daytime getaway.

Makaha Beach

This the local hot spot, minus the tourists. Everyone on the island comes here to set up for the day, do a little fishing, grill their catches, or just sit back and relax in the ocean breeze. This is also the location of the world's first international surf meet, circa 1954, thanks to local legend Buffalo Keaulana. This surf master and his world champion son, Rusty, can be found here on any day as well as the Big Board Surfing classic. If you're into longboarding, this is the spot to be. In the summer time the waves are absolutely perfect, but during the winter months they became too large to catch a good one. There's free parking on the highway, lifeguards, and bathroom amenities. This is easily the most famous beach on the island to those that live here.

Pokai Bay

Not ready for the big waves yet, but still want to hone your surfing skills? Head over to Pokai Bay. The reef creates nice, smaller waves to try out your luck on a surfboard. This is also a fantastic spot for snorkeling, swimming, and just relaxing. The beach itself is entirely sand, so feel free to go barefoot on this one. This is another one with free parking and bathroom amenities. So head on out and test your skills.

White Plains

Think Waikiki, but take out the overly crowded factor. This was one part of the former Barbers Point Naval Air Station until a little while back, and features views of Pearl Harbor as well as Diamond Head. This is a nice, long sloping beach with plenty of wave breaks for surfing. The name comes from the gorgeous white sands here, a sight you have to see for yourself. What this beach has that some others do not is wonderful shade offered by its trees, making for a great place to set up your tent, barbecue, etc. One of the neatest things about this beach is the native monk seal that calls this location its home for several months during the year. It's a rare sight, as seals are uncommon to the islands. Once again, you can take advantage of free parking, as well as lifeguards and bathroom amenities.

Yokohama Beach

This beach is located on the Waianae Coast. In the summer time, the waters are perfect for children. Come early in the morning and you can see the spinner dolphins, or head up the road to Makua Beach for the best spot to see these sea creatures. What's best about this location is that it is entirely beach. That means no stores, homes, condos, etc. Now, you might feel like an outsider here as this is pretty much a local spot, but don't worry. The locals are awesome and friendly. This is a great spot to fish, swim, and get some peace of mind. Lifeguards keep an eye out, bathroom amenities are available, and once again parking is free.

Koolina

When it comes to having kids, this is easily the best spot on the island. The nearby resort has a series of four man-made lagoons, all of which have public beach access. Huge rock walls offer your little swimmers protection from the waves, while vast areas of seashore grass and hala trees offer shade when nap time approaches. If you're planing a trip here, come early. Once school is out the parking lot fills up like free parking is going out of style. (Obviously it's not, Hawaii boasts an amazing amount of it.) Stay fit with the one and a half mile jogging track when the kids are in school, and make sure to feed the family with the great food options here. This is one of the prime locations to catch the beauty of an Oahu sunset.

Papaoneone Beach

If you need a little solitude, then hunt down this location tucked behind some condos. It's wide, sloping, and incredibly secluded. The waves can get pretty high, much like Makaha, so you can get your surf on. The shore breaks aren't incredibly rough, though, so this is any easy swimming spot for most. Parking is on the street, and this spot lacks amenities other than a shower. Sadly, the bathroom amenities are owned by the condos adjacent to it. However, if you really need to just get away from everyone for a while, this is the place to go.

Apartments in Ewa Beach

If any of the above beaches sound like heaven to you, then there are available apartments in Ewa Beach that put your right in close proximity to them all. If you've ever considered living in Hawaii, then look into the homes at Ewa on Oahu. Your dream can become a reality much easier than you might think.

What It's Like to Live in Oahu

Hawaii is a world renowned destination for vacationers of all types, and for good reason. Beautiful landscapes combine with clear, warm waters to create the artistic scenery of a paradise some only dream of. There are a lot of pre-notions about what life here is like. It's not all surf bums and luaus every day like some might think, but ask anyone living in the Honolulu apartment rentals (or anywhere else for that matter) and they'll tell you that it is most certainly the perfect slice of paradise. So what is life here really like?

Chilling Out

While many view the island as a calm and cool place, many people don't exactly understand just how calm it is. Things in Hawaii move slower than most are used to. For instance, scheduling an appointment on Monday doesn't mean next week, it usually means next month. The speed limit along the coastline is only 35mph, and people tend to walk at a slower pace here as well. Why is that? Citizens here have learned to slow down and truly enjoy life and all the beauty that surrounds them. Living at a slower pace eliminates an incredible amount of stress from your day, a drastic difference from the hustle and bustle of city life that so many mainlanders are use to. Maybe it's the ocean air, maybe it's from soaking in the sunshine, but regardless of the cause, this stillness creates an atmosphere of ease and comfort.

Getting Your Goods

Another easily overlooked factor is that, well, you'd be living on an island. That means that it is going to take things a little longer to get here. Shipping is a little more expensive, and deliveries are going to take a while longer than you might be used to. While there are plenty of stores that have more than you'll need, some of the things you want may not always be in stock. This comes as a shock to all too many, but it isn't really bad at all, and only requires a little thinking ahead on certain items we've come to consider "necessities". Once you catch up, or slow down, to the speed of life on the island you won't even notice the difference. No one else here does!

Paradise Isn't Perfect

For one reason or another, a percentage of those that move here are under the impression that such an oasis doesn't have its fair share of problems like the rest of the world. You'll still get sick from time to time, you'll inevitably find yourself caught in traffic, and houses still require mortgages. Oh, and things rust. The salty air here causes things to rust at a much faster rate, which means you'll be repainting your car more often. Paradise isn't perfect, and Hawaii is just like anywhere else when it all comes down to it, but it's still paradise!

...but Paradise is Perfect, too

If you can handle those three lifestyle changes, then you'll soon realize exactly why this place is a haven for its residents. First and foremost are the beaches. Living in such close proximity to warm, crystal clear waters is a luxury few enjoy elsewhere. Choosing to stay in Oahu grants many access to a mile long private beach, and gives their children endless fun in the sun as well as a high quality education at Iroquois Point Elementary School. There's the endless sunshine, broken up only by sporadic rains that last a grand total of 10 minutes. Plus, there are a variety of awesome locations right next door to wherever you live.

A fun place to make a day out of is Barber's Point bowling and golf center, definitely a great family spot. For the more adept golfer, there's a whole list of fantastic courses that includes Coral Creek, Ewa Beach, Kapolei, and the Hawaii prince golf clubs. For many, that's paradise enough! The Podium Raceway offers awesome indoor racing tracks with electric-karting for groups and individuals as well, while the Kapolei Movie Theater has all of the latest hits.

A more popular location for newcomers (and those that have lived here a while, too, if we're being honest) is Paradise Cove Luau. This seaside resort features Hawaiin cuisine and tropical drinks strong enough to knock your socks off. That's on top of the hula and fire dancers. If you're looking for the freshest sushi outside of Japan you can find it at Genki, and when need a change of pace from seafood you can head over to Teddy's Bigger Burgers for one juicy sandwich. Mexican and Italian fare can also be found on the island. We like to keep it cultural.

Just like any other place, we also have Walgreens, Safeway, Ross, Petco, GNC, Foodland, and CVS for your various needs. Unlike any other place, they're all located on this masterpiece of an island.

Honolulu Apartment Rentals

Topping off the palm trees and warm waters are luxurious apartments that you can call your own. By luxurious we're talking modern, tropical themed complexes with tons of amenities. Beautiful flooring comes together with quartz countertops and spacious floorplans to make these apartment dwellings complete with outdoor living areas unlike any other. Reserved, covered parking keeps your vehicle safe while full size washer and dryers add the perfect touch to your home. While the interiors are wonderful, it's the outdoor amenities that create a resort-like experience. Farmer's markets, jacuzzis, swimming pools, dog parks, fitness centers, sporting courts, and so much more create the ultimate experience in luxury living. As if the island isn't perfect enough, these apartments have made paradise that much sweeter.

If you have ever, even for a split second, considered moving to the island of Hawaii then get out here! What are you waiting for? Life is still the usual everyday down here, but even at the end of the roughest workday you can still kick your feet up and relax in this beautiful oasis. People say you can't buy happiness, but having a home in Oahu or Honolulu sure helps.

Reviews

We love living here. The maintenance team is always great. Parick came to fix my tub faucet and was very professional. He was fast, clean and respectful and did a great job in a very short amount of time. I appreciate them scheduling at a time that was convenient for me. I've lived in many different places and even owned my own home, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
